All data collected for blood requests and wastage was processed and
categorized as follows
1. Total no of blood and blood products ordered
2. comparative utilization of blood products
3. Total no of wastage of blood products
4. Reasons for wastage of blood products

Erythropoietin
1:Do not offer erythropoietin to reduce the need for blood transfusion in patients
having surgery, unless:
the patient has anemia and meets the criteria for blood transfusion, but declines
it because of religious beliefs or other reasons or
the appropriate blood type is not available because of the patient's red cell
antibodies.
GUIDELINES
Intravenous and oral iron
1 Offer oral iron before and after surgery to patients with iron-deficiency
anemia.
2: Consider Tranexamic acid for children undergoing surgery who are expected
to have at least moderate blood loss (greater than 10% blood volume).
4: Consider intra-operative cell salvage with Tranexamic acid for patients who
are expected to lose a very high volume of blood (for example in cardiac and
complex vascular surgery, major obstetric procedures, and pelvic
reconstruction and scoliosis surgery).
RESTRICTIVE THRESHOLD
1.2 Red blood cells
Thresholds and targets
1.2.1 Use restrictive red blood cell transfusion thresholds for patients who need red blood
cell transfusions and who do not: have major haemorrhage or
have acute coronary syndrome or need regular blood transfusions for chronic anemia.
1.2.2 When using a restrictive red blood cell transfusion threshold, consider a threshold of
7 g/dl and a haemoglobin concentration target of 7–9 g/dl after transfusion.
1.2.3 Consider a red blood cell transfusion threshold of 8g/litre and a haemoglobin
concentration target of 8–10 g/DL after transfusion for patients with acute coronary
syndrome.
1.2.4 Consider setting individual thresholds and haemoglobin concentration targets for
each patient who needs regular blood transfusions for chronic anemia.
Doses
1.2.5 Consider single-unit red blood cell transfusions for adults (or equivalent volumes
calculated based on body weight for children or adults with low body weight) who do not
have active bleeding.
1.2.6 After each single-unit red blood cell transfusion (or equivalent volumes calculated
based on body weight for children or adults with low body weight), clinically reassess and
check haemoglobin levels, and give further transfusions if needed.
1.4 Fresh frozen plasma
Thresholds and targets
1.4.1 Only consider fresh frozen plasma transfusion for patients with clinically
significant bleeding if they have abnormal coagulation test results (for
example, prothrombin time ratio or activated partial thromboplastin time ratio above
1.5).
1.4.2 Do not offer fresh frozen plasma transfusions to correct abnormal coagulation in
patients who:
are not bleeding (unless they are having invasive procedures or surgery with a risk of
clinically significant bleeding)
need reversal of a vitamin K antagonist.
1.4.3 Consider prophylactic fresh frozen plasma transfusions for patients with
abnormal coagulation who are having invasive procedures or surgery with a risk of
clinically significant bleeding.
Doses
1.4.4 Reassess the patient's clinical condition and repeat the coagulation tests after
fresh frozen plasma transfusion to ensure that they are getting an adequate dose, and
give further doses if needed.
1.3 Platelets
1.3.3 Offer prophylactic platelet transfusions to patients with a platelet count below
10×109 per liter who are not bleeding or having invasive procedures or surgery, and who do not
have any of the following conditions:
